Revision as of 22:16, 20 October 2018

Segisaurus is an Early Jurassic meat-eater that seemed adapted for life in a dry, sandy environment. Though all early dinosaur predators had evolved to be quicker than the animals they replaced, scientists believe Segisaurus has features that made it extra fast.

The North American landscape where Segisaurus lived was very arid and sandy. This little dinosaur seemed to have features that would have made it well adapted to squatting down and sitting out a sandstorm. With only post-cranial remains, the exact look of this dinosaur is unknown.[1]

A Segisaurus‘ icon was located on a map of the Jurassic Park brochure, but the animal was never seen on-screen. On the map, the Segisaurus' enclosure is located at the far southern end of the island where the tourist route does not connect. However, it is unknown if this enclosure was ever constructed.[2][3]  Segisaurus was planned to be an attraction in Jurassic Park, with 48% of its genome being completed, but sadly, this had to be put on hold due to the Isla Nublar Incident of 1993. 

Segisaurus apparently went extinct on Isla Nublar in 2018.[4]

Trivia

  • The map logo of the Segisaurus features a skull. However, the only known Segisaurus skeleton does not have a skull.[5]
  • Segisaurus appeared on the Jurassic Park Institute website, in the Dinopedia section. The picture in the entry, and shown in the infobox on this page, is the only image of the Segisaurus in the entire franchise.
